Xorg 1.6, nvidia brokenness w/ dual monitors [SOLVED]

Hi,
I upgraded this past week to xorg-server 1.6.1-1, nvidia 180.44-1, and kernel26 2.6.29.1-4.  When I rebooted today I found a few things are broken:
I have a laptop and external monitor dual screen setup where each screen is a separate x screen, as setup by nvidia-settings.  After upgrading if I hold down any key for half a second or more (to trigger key repeat), my display on both monitors goes black and my mouse and keyboard stop responding (can't switch terminals, can't kill x...).  Resuming from xscreensaver also triggers this same problem.
Another oddity is that when I move my mouse cursor from one monitor to the other a lingering "copy" of the cursor stays on the monitor I just move away from at the transition point to the other monitor.
If I physically disconnect my external monitor (w/o changing xorg.conf) X displays none of the problems listed above.
My xorg.conf is below.  Most of it is probably not useful, although I should point out that I have input hotplugging disabled w/ AutoAddDevices false:

have you looked at /var/log/xorg.0.log for warnings and errors?
you need to get rid of ..
    Load           "type1"
    Load           "freetype"
If you want independent X screens you need to get rid of..
    Option         "Xinerama" "1"
or change "1" to "0" or "false"
For two screens you should only need two device sections and you have three.
Alot of people are having good results with a minimal xorg.conf with the new xorg-server. I can't really say too much about it as I still use my xorg.conf, although I could probably cut it down quite a bit.
It looks like your xorg.conf needs a lot of tweaking. Or you could just delete most everything in it and let autoconfig do it's thing. Then just add little by little till you get everything working.
Not sure how much it will help because i'm not using a laptop, but rather a desktop, but here's my working xorg.conf set up with nvidia and three seperate X screens.
# Xorg configuration file altered by Leigh
# Updated (Dec 2008)
# Three independent screens
# Three cards... (GeForce7900 PCI-E, GeForce6800 PCI-E, GeForce4 MX PCI)
# Monitors... (Two Dell 2005 FPW's, One NEC MultiSync FE1250+ CRT)
# Note: (Due to GeForce4 MX, I need to use the legacy nvidia drivers, nvidia-96xx.)

  • New nvidia Broke my Dual Monitor Setup

    I now have:
    sudo pacman -Qs nvidia
    local/nvidia 185.18.14-1
    NVIDIA drivers for kernel26.
    local/nvidia-utils 185.18.14-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities and libraries.
    and now while nvidia-settings shows me both of my screens, no matter what I pick, the secondary screen never turns on. Nothing appears there.
    Before today's update to the latest versions of the above packages, both screens worked fine.
    any suggestions?
    EDIT The system recognizes that the second monitor is there--if I unplug it and "detect displays" then it notes that it's gone. And I can drag a window (Xfce) onto that monitor--I just can't see anything there.

    pacman -Qi kernel26
    See "Required by"
    I've downgraded my kernel many times before. The only things that usually give trouble about it are wireless drivers and the nvidia drivers, not the boot sequence itself. Besides, if something goes wrong, you can always boot into a livecd and just upgrade the kernel back to where it was from chroot. How to do so is in the wiki; I could link you to that or a post I made on the matter if need be. You should always have a functional graphical livecd of your choice available, such as ubuntu or system rescue cd or what have you, in case you need the internet. Or a second machine/laptop/whatever. On that note, an older virtualbox-modules is likely available on the aforementioned ARM website.
    Also..
    Do not be afraid of breaking things. That's just part of learning how to fix them and how to do it right in the future.
    If you are on a machine where breaking things would be a major problem, using a bleeding edge distro on it is ill advised.
    EDIT: Damn I'm sleepy.. so many mistakes in this post I needed to fix.. Gn

  • NVIDIA Geforce4 MX Dual Monitor/TV Issue!!

    I've recently ran an S-video from the onboard Geforce4 MX video to a VCR. I used an S-video to RCA adapter, tested and not the issue. I am able to receive a signal with color during POST and at WinXP splash screen at bootup. After loading display adapter drivers, after WinXP Splash Screen, I lose all color and receive just a black and white signal on the TV. I have tried six different drivers and all with mixed results. When I am able to load WinXP, using Nvidia driver version 42.43, I receive a color signal. I am then unable to view any movies within Windows Media Player 9.0 on the TV but they will play with no issues on the monitor.
    Nvidia Display Adapter Driver Versions Tried/Results:
    v41.07 - B&W signal on TV/unable to play movies in WMP 9.0
    v42.43 - Color signal on TV/unable to play movies in WMP 9.0
    v43.45 - B&W signal on TV/unable to play movies in WMP 9.0
    v45.32 - B&W signal on TV/unable to play movies in WMP 9.0
    v52.14 - B&W signal on TV/Able to play movies in WMP 9.0
    v52.16 - B&W signal on TV/unable to play movies in WMP 9.0
    I can smell how close I am to solving this issue, but if anybody has any suggestions for what drivers version to install...I'm up for some advice. PC Specs are right below Thanks in advance!

    So I realized that my dvd player has both s-video and rca connections (duh), and so I took my adapter and tried it out on the dvd player.  The regular connection from rca to rca worked in color, but when i hooked the one end of the rca to the s-video adapter into the dvd player, everything comes out black and white.
    Obviously these adapter cables shipped with our cards are of cheap quality.  I'll just return mine to the store i bought the card, they said they said they'd replace it.  Just a pain in the ass to drive all the way out to change a stupid tiny adapter.  This next one better work.
    Hope you guys find out your B&W problem.  MSI should step in and get some people on this problem.

  • MythTV Program Guide Slow/No Composite Effects On Dual Monitor

    Hello all,
    I am not entirely sure where this would belong, so I put it here.
    I am running Arch64 with an NVidia 8600GTS and dual monitors as seperate X screens. The second monitor is actually a TV not a monitor, and is using the S-Video output on the video card, but I'm not sure that that's relevant at all.
    On my primary monitor the program guide in MythTV runs fairly decent, however on the TV it runs unbearably slow. Pushing up on the remote a time or two will take a minute or so to happen. I have it set to the least demanding level possible.
    I originally thought that this was just a MythTV issue but I noticed that XCompmgr and Compiz-Fusion effects do not work at all on the TV either, so I think these issues are related.
    Also, I do not currently have a composite window manager installed, I am using Gnome with Metacity.

    It's a bit of a mess at the moment. Last time I reinstalled I was having trouble with the keyboard and mouse not working in Gnome, so I've been hesitant to mess with it too much.
    On my previous install my xorg.conf looked like this:

    I had the same issues with composite managers and that MythTV guide using this xorg.conf too.
    Has anyone had any similar issues? I am at a total loss here, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    No one else has had troubles with the program guide or composite effects on dual monitors?

  • Dual monitors on nvidia geforce fx 5200

    Hi,
    I'm using a nvidia geforce fx 5200 card that has vga out, dvi out, and svideo out. I have one crt hooked into the vga, the main monitor, and I have a dvi to vga converter, to enable a second vga, crt monitor. When I try to use the nvidia-settings, and enable twinview,  and I get this message:
    "failed to set metamode (1) 'CRT00: nvidia-auto-select @1024x768 + 1024+0, DFP-0: 1024x768 @1024x768 +0+0' (Mode 2048x768, id: 50) on X screen 0."
    any ideas? thanks.

    Hm, Not working, just display on the true vga monitor. Are you using a dvi to vga connector as well? Heres my log output, I couldn't make too much of it, I tried to switch the CRT-1 to DFP-0 which didn't seem to do the trick either.

  • Archlinux dual monitor without Xorg/Xwindows (cli only)

    Hi,
    i have successfully installed Archlinux on my laptop, everything is fine!  Xcfe desktop env. is able to handle dual monitor with the "xinerama" option (move windows between screens) with the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf/10-monitor.conf" config. file.
    But, one question remain :   when i exit from Xwindows (cli only),  my dual monitor is going back to "twinview" (same screen for both monitors).  Is it possible to have a "xinerama" view (2 independants Cli screens) in command line only (like in Xwindows)?
    if yes , what can i do / install  / run or configure to achieve this goal ?
    ps : im not taking about alt-f1-f2-f3 switching tty or the "screen" command, but a way to handle 2 monitors in Linux command line....
    Thanks !!!
    Dom

    Hmm, I remember when I first set up Arch linux It would do wired things with the video in X, screens weren't layed out correctly, and I couldn't get all 3 to work ( Only 2 ) So I needed to switch to the "Offical" drivers, It works well and I play games so I would've done it anyways, I'm not sure what you plan on doing with your computer ( Games, just internet, media ) but the "offical" drivers might be worth a shot.
    Here's the wiki on the drivers you're currently using:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
    and the one's that AMD created:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst
    I used the repository method, and It's working fine for me. I will say that in general although the open source drivers work really well and KMS is just awesome! ( It takes almost 10 seconds to switch from X to a tty for me right now ) The ATI drivers are sometimes just less problems.

  • Dual Monitors without Xorg.conf Help

    I have an Acer Aspire One and Im trying to setup Dual Displays. Every guide Ive found, including the Acer One Article in the Wiki talks about editing the Xorg.conf file, yet my system seems to be running without one. Other than problems setting up the dual displays I dont have any issues with Display Settings so it seems my installation of arch linux seems to be using some other technology other than Xorg. Does any one know how the Display settings are setup without the use of the Xorg.conf file ? This is a fresh Arch Linux Base Install using only OpenBox.
    Ive also tried using XRandR to setup my dual displays but I keep getting an error and google doesnt provide an answer.
    I try and run the following command ( wich works fine on my other PC )
                    [zero@zero ~]$ xrandr --auto --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --right-of VGA1
    And get the following error
                     X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
                     Major opcode of failed request:  149 (RANDR)
                     Minor opcode of failed request:  7 (RRSetScreenSize)
                     Serial number of failed request:  24
                     Current serial number in output stream:  25
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    WooHoo !
    awkwood   -  You Rock ! I feel like an idiot for not paying closer attention to your first post. I finally realized what you were saying and figured out how to do the downgrade.
    If it's 2.12.0 I'd suggest trying 2.11.0 instead.
    The most recent update borked my dual display with a similar error message but 2.11 works fine.
    I don't use an xorg.conf.
    So essentially this seems to be a bug with version 2.12 of the xf86-video-intel driver. I downgraded to ver 2.11 and everything works perfectly. I am running dual monitors at full resolution with no fuss. So again awkwood I thank you !
    For other Arch Newbies who have this issue in the mean time until they fix the bug, this is how I did the downgrade.
    Step 1:
    download the 2.11 package from the link below
    http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/i686/x … pkg.tar.xz
    Step 2:
    Open a terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the file
    $ cd /home/$USERNAME/Downloads
    Step 3:
    Use pacman to install the package
    sudo pacman -U xf86-video-intel-2.11.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
    Finally reboot. When you log back in everything should work fine
    Again thanks to awkwood as well as karol, blind, Inxsible and everyone else for their help. Everyone here is so helpful, I am defiantly an Arch user for life. Hopefully they will fix the bug in the next version of the driver. My next step is to see about filling a bug report.

  • [SOLVED]Getting Dual Monitors To With Nvidia Cards Under Arch

    Just got a second monitor and I am trying to set it up to work with arch.
    I have 2 nvidia cards with 1 monitor plugged into each.
    Reading through the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DualScreen
    When I try
    xrandr -q
    after downloading and installing:
    pacman -S xorg-xrandr arandr
    I get the message:
    RandR extension missing
    So not sure what is going on here... (***EDIT: Worked after rebooting***)
    Output for:
    xrandr -q
    is:
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384
    DVI-I-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    I am not clear on how to merge these two snippets together properly...
    To be honest I am somewhat confused about this whole process... If anyone has a more clear link or can explain the steps better to me I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe I just have to read through it a few more times. Thanks in advance.

    Using this xorg.conf file, only my NEC LCD analog monitor could display KDE while the Samsung digital can't.
    Any suggestions?   

    Thanks for your help guys, I'm halfway there.
    The second monitor shows the KDE desktop, but it isn't exactly what I expected.  Right now, both monitors display at 1024x768 (each) or 2048x768 (total).  The larger monitor stretches and distorts the display of 1024x768 to its natural resolution at 1440x900 and it isn't what I wanted.  Other than that, the dual desktop setup behaves what I expected to.
    Here's a snippet of my xorg.conf that currently works:

    Any hints on what it's not working? I use Slim as login manager, and when it comes up, the left screen only show a small portion of the screen.

    Option "monitor-VGA-1" "Dell"
    Option "monitor-HDMI-1" "Asus"
    Do you need the word monitor in there? I was under the impression you only needed "VGA-1". I'm having a similar problem to you though so don't take my advice too carefully (why didn't I back up my old conf file :'()
    Edit; You do.

  • Would be grateful for help configuring my 7950gx2 for dual monitor

    Hi guys,
    I have two monitors - one widescreen TFT 20" DVI (max 1680x1050), and one 17" TFT Analog (max 1280x1024).
    Currently I'm running just on my widescreen monitor, but would love to have both monitors enabled to facilitate my spare-time web design.
    I have an nVidia 7950GX2 - the card is essentially two 7900GT(X)s SLI'd together. So it is a multi-GPU card, rather than me having two separate graphics cards in my system.
    I've followed the Arch Wiki info regarding nVidia drivers, and have the drivers operating perfectly right now. But no matter what I do, even if I follow the Gentoo Wiki info on dual monitors, I can't get both monitors to operate; it's either one or neither.
    Here's my current xorg.conf :

    I still only get my widescreen coming on.
    When I change
    Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP"
    Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP, CRT"
    then only my widescreen comes on again. Swapping the arguments means only my small TFT comes on.
    I'd be very grateful for help fixing this; I'm happy to follow any instructions you want, so I'll just be patient and wait for orders

    I took the liberty to modify the relevant parts of the original xorg.conf file based on mine (I have a TwinView setup, but with identical monitors). Since bwalk has a similar setup to yours, you should try that first. If you still have problems for some reason, you can try the sections below.
    I assume that the HorizSync and VertRefresh values are correct for your system, so I just used the original values as well (if you didn't set them, you might want to double check just to be sure). I commented out certain lines that seemed to be set by the program that created the config file, so if you need them, uncomment them...I just wanted to clean it up a bit. Again, understood that the CRT is on the left and the DFP is on the right, so that's how the MetaModes are declared. If it's the other way around, you will have to swap the value sets. I also assume that the DFP is your main monitor, so I set the CRT to NULL for any situation that requires it.
    I'm not certain about the Screen section. Since so much info is declared above it, you might be able to eliminate the SubSection part, but I'm not sure. I hope you get it working.

    If they both turn on for a second or two and then it drops you back at the command line, it would appear that X is working ok.
    What wm/de are you using? .... or maybe what login manager are you using?
    Have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see what it says?
    Normally when you are dropped to the command line, there would be an error message on the screen in front of you; it should be the same as in the log file, btw. 
    Also, when did this start happening?
    Has it ever worked?  If so, what changed?

  • Gnome Crashes on Login after messing with dual monitor settings

    Gnome displays the sad monitor and has the error message "..something has gone wrong..~" and will force me to log out. I've only started to experience this after messing with dual monitor settings in nvidia. The dual setup(twinview) worked but once I rebooted, I couldn't get it going for awhile.

    I commented out below to get it in again, but it still feels shaky and unstable to log in now. Sometimes I will get the error and after a log out and login, it'll work.

    Extra Notes: I have another desktop session with awesome installed(uninstalled now) and could log into that no problem. Awesome was giving me troubles so I uninstalled it. I have 2 gnome desktop sessions, my regular gnome session(the one that crashes), and the other with no window manager(never crashed on startup).
    I installed awesome around the same time as configuring the dual monitor setup.
    Thanks.

    Update.
    The crashes are to be expected now. I'm circumventing the whole thing by logging into my other Gnome session without a window manager, logging out and then logging back into my regular Gnome with Metacity.
    I've noticed the tty1 sessions(not sure what's it's called) is strange. Apparently my session runs on tty8 but when I try logging in, it'll crash me and tty7 gives me a blank screen with a blinking underscore. The other tty1s work regularly. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
    Is there a way to just reset the Gnome settings?

  • [Solved]Openbox dual monitor crashing

    I have been working this out for days to no avail. I have an ATI video card not using the catalyst drivers. Dual monitors worked fine in KDE without any additional setup, and no xorg.conf. In openbox i have tried with arandr, and manual. but when i enable the second monitor its seems that openbox crashes, because whatever is on the screen at the time of enabling the monitor turns to static. I think its openbox because i still have a functional mouse cursor and has proper fucntions accross both monitors in any configuration that i try. when it crashes i have to hard reboot. when i reboot with the monitor still plugged in, both lvds and vga will display a cloned image at the same resolution which is the wrong resolution for both lvds and vga.
    I have googled till there is no link unclicked, and wiki give me nothing. i dont believe that i need to set up an xorg.conf as the external is detected fine. its almost like when x applies the settings it corrupts openbox.
    anyone have any ideas?

    I mean add the monitors to xorg.conf.  Here is the xorg.conf I use with openbox (separate X display for the TV), just to give you an idea - yours will differ with ATI:

    Then I start the second X display on the TV with this in openbox's autostart.sh:
    (sleep 5 && xinit /usr/bin/openbox -- /usr/bin/X :1 -layout tv -nolisten tcp) &
    Thus there are two instances of openbox running.
    It may not give you the flexibility, but for testing it may help you narrow down what is causing the problem and find remedies.
    Also, the monitor turning to static sounds more like a driver or X issue than something with openbox.
